Worcester WooSox Pitchers Shine in Opening Weekend

0:00On March 31st, the Tribal A season kicked off this weekend for the Worcester Wussox, and right away, they're flexing some serious pitching talent. On my glass year with position player Hype, this roster spotlights two top 10 organization prospects. Pictures paid in tole and Jake Bennett. All three opening weekend starters are on the 40-man roster, giving Boston solid depth behind their big league 6. Friday night, Jake Bennett took the hill first, tossing three shutout innings with just two hits, no walks and five strikeouts. The Oklahoma guy hit 95 miles per hour on his fastball, averaging 93.4. It was a short leash to ease him into the code. Saturday brought Tyler Uberstein, who went four innings, allowing one run on two hits, one walk and three k's. Tempts were around 30 degrees at first pitch, but the Northwestern alum shrugged it off, saying he's used to Chicago chills. Manager Chad Tracey said, the odds eyeing him hard for a big league bullpen spot come opening day.

1:01Sunday featured top prospect Peyton Toley, who threw four frames, giving up four runs on five hits and two walks, but fanning six. His fastball touch 98 miles per hour with 11 whiffs, even as he tweaks his secondary stuff, post big league stint. These outing show the Red Sox have real rotation insurance if injuries hit, like last year when they leaned on rookies. With arms like these ramping up, Worcesters off to a promising start, and Boston's future looks stacked. I'm Cory with the story.
